When the hammer is forward, as in condition two carry, is the firing pin block up, allowing the firing pin to free float, or is it down, acting as a firing pin block?
For me, to lower the hammer, I have to press the trigger, lower the hammer to half cock, then press the trigger again to release the sear from the half cock notch. But, I try to release the trigger before the hammer is all the way down. And I am wondering therefore, does condition two carry prevent the firing pin block from retaining the firing pin, if a M1911 series 80 is dropped on its muzzle?
